Hi Dan,

             I have some travel plans this year in Oct 2016 and would like to know during my PERM process (I-140 process just begun ) can I travel with a valid H1B which was stamped this year in Feb 2016 ?

My employer says the attorney just started the PERM recruitment process and would take around 60 days to complete. I still can travel in Oct as my H1B visa is valid till July 2018?

PERM takes about 4 months once applied. You can travel when PERM is in process

The recruitment process is going on now and the quiet period will start after 30 days. I think i can travel for 2 months from Oct 2016 to Dec 2016. Please let me know.  My H1B visa is stamped and validity is upto July 2018.
